I’ve got a few pins on location at a local brewery- Ballad Brewing in Danville VA. Just sold Munsters and I’m looking to add a 4th pin and just looking for advice/opinions. It’s mainly casual pinball fans playing, we don’t have leagues or tournaments -yet. What new/used pin should I add to the lineup? Mainly looking for newer sterns to keep replacement parts - I currently have Star Wars, Ghostbusters and Jurassic Park.

Looking to see what could satisfy the casual fan but also keep better players satisfied.

Quoted from fisherdaman:
Of the existing games, what seems to be the highest performer?

Ghostbusters is always the highest earning, but they are all close. Just trying to get opinions. I definitely want something that a random casual fan will enjoy, but also fun for more experienced players.

TNA?

Quoted from Orko:
Deadpool

I actually owned both of these last year and unfortunately sold them when we had our 3rd child, and also before I had the brewery opportunity. Seems like a lot of people are recommending Deadpool. I actually asked the guy that I sold it to if he’d consider selling back, but he’s really enjoying it.

Quoted from Monk:
I'm not an operator, but from my perspective it's about getting pinball to the masses, but also how can I make the most money. With that said I wouldn't typically look past a Stern pro as they have the lowest purchase price. I don't think you would get the casual player to play anymore, or pay anymore, by spending thousands more on a premium, remake, etc. Now a place that has diehard pinheads is another story. Just my thought and I could be way off.

Exactly. At my brewery location it’s probably 95% casual fans. They wouldn’t know the difference in a pro vs LE. Also why I don’t really want a MM or more expensive title, it won’t make more money. I plan on rotating pins in every 4-6 months to keep things fresh. Stern pros have been doing really well.

Thanks for all the input and opinions - I appreciate it

Thanks for all the suggestions. I decided to go with the latest stern pro mainly based on theme. It should be approachable to rookie players. Like I mentioned earlier, it’s mainly casual fans and also the staff at the brewery were interested in Stranger Things more than any other title I showed them.
